“Although we beat Egypt 4-2 I think we still have some serious problems, especially in the defence,” Kolo said.

“We have to correct our lapses and play very deep right from the defence to stop the opposition from getting too close.

"We also need to correct conceding dangerous corner-kicks and throw-ins and then engage the midfield to play high and hard and form the first defensive line.

“In official competitions there are mistakes you don’t make or you pay for it dearly. I’m not too satisfied with our showing but since we have more time to fine tune, I hope we’ll be able to correct that.”
